Foreword 


To an appreciative public, it is a source of gratification to present Vol. II, 
Early Records of Georgia, a continuation of Wilkes county, so vitally con¬ 
nected with the history of Georgia, and probably the most far-reaching and 
important in genealogical source material. 

No claim is made that these two volumes could possibly cover the records 
of this old and populous county for the period designated. They are a mere 
working foundation for more extensive research by those whose ancestors 
were early settlers of Wilkes, the parent county of all of Elbert, Lincoln and 
Oglethorpe, and part of Warren, Greene and Talliaferro counties. Nor is 
Vol. II a sequel to Vol. I. For a complete survey of the given period one is 
dependent upon the other. 

Probably the most valuable and interesting data contained in Vol. II are 
the original papers, stored in attic and cellar of the old and new court houses 
since being returned for record, very little of which was transcribed into the 
county books. Their abstracting required the handling of thousands of 
papers, many of them mere scraps. All genealogical and historical facts 
therein are here compiled in convenient form. 

The somewhat wide patronage accorded Vol. I leads us to hope Vol. II 
will be as graciously received. The leading public libraries and universities 
all over the United States have been eager purchasers. 

Again the compiler makes grateful acknowledgment to Judge Richard 
O. Barksdale, Judge of Court of Ordinary; to Hon. Frank E. Callaway, 
Clerk of Superior Court; to Mrs. Sarah Quinn Smith for her unselfish and 
arduous labor in sorting the original papers; and to friend and husband, 
John Lee Davidson for his untiring efforts in helping to compile this 
volume.

Remnant Tax Digest 

Leaves Gone Front and Back 

\ Q ftVT 

EXPLANATORY 

This is the first tax digest found in the court house, and was taken to 
give a practically complete census of the heads of families of that date, 
to identify their lands as headrights, and possible bounty grants for 
Revolutionary service, and to replace in a measure the census of 1790, all 
of which for Georgia was destroyed by the British during the War of 1812 
in Washington, D. C. There is no complete digest until 1802, only a few 
pages left in the interim. The remnants for 1792, 1793, 1794 have been 
published in “Some Tax Digests of Georgia” Ruth Blair, State Historian 
and Archivist, and give valuable information.

Page 329—HILLHOUSE, SARAH. Georgia, Wilkes Co. I Sarah Hillhouse 
of the county and state aforesaid being of sound mind and memory 
and desirous of securing the inheritance of my property in justice 
and equity, do make and ordain this my last will and testament as 
follows: As I have already given my son the greater part of my 
property, I presume he will not expect any addition at my death 
although my unabated maternal affection would induce me to do more, 
could it be done in justice to his sister. And having been repeatedly 
solicited by my son-in-law Felix Gilbert not to give his daughter Sarah 
Alexander any part of my estate because of the large property he 
should leave her. In justice therefore to my daughter Mary Shepherd 
and her family I feel it my duty to comply with his oft repeated 
request, I give and bequeath the whole of my property of every 
description personal and real for her own individual use and benefit 
and behoof. I do hereby give and fully grant unto her the right and 
privilege of selling, exchanging or any way altering the property real 
or personal that I may leave in whatever manner she may think best, 
the same to her children at her death. It is particularly my wish as 
my daughter has the management of the property coming to her children 
from their father’s estate and also of my own that they should be 
perfectly satisfied with whatever may be done by her or by her consent 
in the management of their property in either estate, and as I have 
perfect confidence in the equitable manner in which she has already 
and will continue to manage their property and though it may not be 
in strict compliance with the letter of the law with a view therefore 
to prevent any difficulty between my daughter and her children or 


WILKES COUNTY 


139 


between the children themselves it is particularly my wish and direction 
that in case any of her children, their heirs or representatives should 
ever demur to or contend for anything different than she may have 
done or directed to be done or may hereafter do in the management 
either of their fathers or my property, that one or those thus contend¬ 
ing shall be and are by my last will entirely excluded from all part, 
share or benefit of my property of every kind otherwise left them 
through their mother. I request my daughter Mary Shepherd to act as 
my executor of this my last will and testament in this most liberal 
intent and meaning, feeling the most unbounded confidence in her 
justice and maternal affection. In testimony whereof I have hereunto 
set my hand and seal this first of February Eighteen hundred and 
thirty one. (Signed) Sarah Hillhouse.

ORIGINAL PAPERS 

The people of Wilkes county and all descendants of the early settlers of 
the county, whether residents of our own Empire State of the South, the 
crowded centers of the north and east, the fertile deltas of the Mississippi, 
in sight of the snow capped Rocky Mountains, midst the golden orange 
groves of California, or beyond the domain of our beloved America, owe 
a debt of gratitude to Sarah Quinn Smith, herself a scion of the very 
cream of the pioneers of this historic area, who with no thought of renum¬ 
eration, actuated by a passionate desire to preserve the history of her 
beloved state and county, rescued these priceless original papers from 
further loss, and made them available for publication. To her only is due 
the credit for their restoration and preservation. 

The following abstracts were made from these original papers, stored 
in utmost confusion in attic and cellar of both the old and new courthouses. 
No doubt thousands were lost, destroyed by vermin, burned as trash, and 
stolen by vandals. Nothing we can do now could possibly replace them 
for the use and instruction of present and future generations. We can 
only register their loss as a tragedy with similar losses in many other old 
counties of Georgia. 

Wilkes county was the scene of stirring events. The few records touch¬ 
ing the Revolutionary period give us reason to believe there were others 
in existence. If such papers had been preserved, they would have made 
a wonderful contribution to the glorious history of Georgia. 

The authenticity of these documents can not be questioned. The returns 
of administrators, executors, guardians etc are the identical papers returned 
to the Register of Probate for record, in the older papers the actual receipts

of heirs, legatees and wards in their own handwriting. To a modern 
doctor, the accounts of the doctors of that day would give an insight into 
their methods of treatment probably not found elsewhere, certainly not in 
published history. Little of this material was recorded in books, which 
still further enhances its value. No price could possibly be placed on these 
original papers. Nothing short of their being carefully arranged, and 
placed in the fire proof vault of the Judge of Court of Ordinary should be 
considered for a moment, regardless of expense. They fairly scintillate 
with the forgotten history of the past. No modern fiction excels them 
in tales of human interest. They are all that is left to tangibly link us 
with the pioneers whose ashes have made sacred this historic ground, and 
whose descendants, legion in number, are scattered to the ends of the earth.

Thos. replied that because Joel married first he had to give him the 
improved farm, and as Robt. was the oldest he gave him the Long 
Bluff tract, and as Thos. was the youngest he would give him the 
tract whereon he then lived as he expected to live with him the rest

Georgia Putman Co. By virtue of a commission issuing from Wilkes Co., 
interrogatories made to Frances Wright. Only the answers given: 
She says she knows Wm. Cox, Andrew Ruddle and Robt. Flournoy, 
but neither of the others. She knew a negro woman Hannah in 
possession of Nancy Cox, which she came possessed of under the 
will of her father Abraham Cox. Nancy brought Hannah from Va., 
upwards of 30 years ago, and sold her to Andrew Ruddle about 1804. 
Before the sale was made Wm. Cox notified Ruddle that Nancy 
had only a life est in the negro and my father then exhibited to 
the said Ruddle a copy of said Abraham Cox’s will. Ruddle said he 
would give just as much for the slave regardless of the will. He 
knew when he bought her the exact circumstances. Nancy also had 
a slave Jarrett, the last time I saw Hannah she was in possession 
of Andrew Ruddle and the last time I saw Jarrett he was in possession 
of said Nancy. If Nancy had any other slaves I do not know it. I have 
never heard it disputed that Nancy has been dead two years. Feb. 1,

MURRAY, ISAAC vs Carlton Welborn. Georgia Lincoln Co. By virtue of 
a commission from Superior Court of Wilkes Co., we have caused 
Margaret Jeter and Frances Gartrell to come before us to answer 
interrogatories in above case Aug. 16, 1825. Margaret Jeter says she 
was present at the marriage of Isaac Murray and Matilda Gartrell, 
she heard Jos. Gartrell father of Matilda Murray give Matilda slaves 
Martha, Davy and Ned a few weeks after their marriage, the day 
that Isaac Murray moved from the house of his father-in-law Jos. 
Gartrell, and my father Francis Gartrell, my first husband Jere. 
Gartrell, Jos. and John Gartrell were present as witnesses. Jos. 
Gartrell the father asked that Martha and Ned be left with him till 
he paid a d^bt to Abram Simons, and Davy as long as Jos. lived. 
I remember Isaac Murray did receive from his father-in-law Jos. 
Gartrell three slaves, a woman and her two children about the time 
he started to move to Tenn., may be the same day, sometime in July 
1814. I was present, but heard no conditions that said slaves were 
to be returned at any time. Francis Gartrell says he (or she) was 
present and called on by my brother Jos. Gartrell to witness the 
gift of three slaves, Martha and her two boys Ned and Davy, that 
he wished to keep the first two till he paid Abram Simons and Davy 
may be during his life as a mill boy. This was soon after the marriage 
of Isaac Murray and Matilda Gartrell and the day they started to 
Tenn. in June 1814. Joseph gave them three slaves independent of 
the above named and no conditions of returns made.

Respt. Atty. 

The Admrs. of Neesmith, Applt. vs Elijah Clarke, Respt. Georgia Rich¬ 
mond Co. Pursuant to a commission from the Hon. the Superior Court of 
Wilkes County to us directed. We have this day caused John Green, Esqr, 
the witness therein mentioned to come before us and after being sworn on 
the Holy Evangelist of Almighty God to answer the Questions therein 
proposed in truth deposeth and saith. 

Answer to 1st Question. I do know Elijah Clarke also Samuel Godby, 
who I am informed is the Admr. of NeeSmith. 

Answer to 2nd. The mode of disposing of the Enemy's property was 
by selling and dividing among the Captors, and if property taken in the 
British lines proved afterward to belong to the friends of this Country it 
was returned to them after deducting one third for salvage. The character 
of the widow NeeSmith was notorious to be the enemy of the friends of 
this Country and that she did aid and assist the British and Tory's of 
every description all that in her power lie, and I do think and believe that 
the property of NeeSmith came as fully under the Act of Confiscation as 
any other person or persons whatever, not particularly named in that Act. 
I also know that Col. Jas. McCoy was an active officer, (and always 
believed him to be a good man) in the cause of the Liberty of this Country; 
The Rev. Mr. Mobley was an inactive Tory; Wm. Ennis I know nothing 
personally for or against; Gill Thomas was an active man in the cause 
of the Freedom of this' Country; Jas. Gray was a Capt. of the Tory party 
and known to be an Enemy of this Country; Wm. Ryalls took protection 
under the British, but his general character was that of an honest man; 
Francis Paris I conceived to be an Enemy to this Country, but his charac¬ 
ter was that of an honest man; Mrs. Esther Griner, I did not know, her 
character was not very fair at that time; Mary Miller I do not know. 
The line between us and the British at that time was, (as I understood), 
from the Hudsons on Savannah river to the mouth of Little Ogeechee 
where it empties into Big Ogeechee. I also knew Michael Jones who acted 
as a Lieut, in the American Service, was very active and frequently down 
in the British Lines. I also knew Samuel Moore, a person named in the 
Act of Confiscation (as well as I recollect) that he was an Active Capt. 
in the service of the British and that he married the Daughter of Nee- 
Smith, that he was a vile murderer and robber, and told me himself that 
he robbed Gen’l. Clarke of a number of Goods and that there was one 
man who was guarding the General’s Wagons at the time, killed by one 
of his party and this happened sometime after the British left Savannah. 
That the said Moore was harbour ed at the wido w Nee Smiths as well as 
many others of his character, and this deponent further sayeth that he 
had lost some property and went to the Widow NeeSmiths to enquire after 
the said Moore to get from him the property the deponent had lost, and 


WILKES COUNTY 


319 


that the widow directed this deponent into the Swamp where he might 
find said Moore, who was only to be seen by such as would pledge their 
word not to take his life, that she could confide in; that the deponent 
went into the Swamp where he found the said Moore, who confessed he 
had taken it and made restitution and gave him the above information 
respecting the robbery of Gen’l. Clarke, and further this deponent sayeth 
not. Signed J. Green. Taken and sworn to at Augusta before us, this 16th, 
day of November 1797. Jos. Stiles, J. P., John Hutchinson, J. P. 


ROSTER OF SOLDIERS AND CIVIL OFFICERS FOR THE 
PERIOD OF THE WAR OF 1812 

This Roster is on beautiful paper, in a clear, perfect handwriting almost 
like engraving. Service as Justice of Peace, and Sheriff is accepted eligi¬ 
bility to United States Daughters of 1812 from 1784 to 1816, which makes 
this Roll of utmost value to them or prospective members. 

Most of the warfare on land was done by the Militia and every able- 
bodied male over sixteen was enrolled, subject to call upon alarm of raids 
by Indians. Certain days were designated as “Muster Days” and all re¬ 
ported at the county town for drill and instruction from their officers. 

Vol. 1 also gives many records of service, and such records are some¬ 
times found in returns of estates in this volume also.

FIRST MARRIAGE BOOK 


1806-1834 


Arranged Alphabetically as to Men’s Names 


There was no law requiring record of marriage in Georgia prior to 1806, 
and comparatively few were recorded previously. Probably most of the 
original bonds' were returned to the Register of Probate for preservation. 
Only a few survived careless handling, lack of proper facilities for safe 
keeping, and the troublous times of the Revolution and Indian depredations 
following. 

It would be safe to assert that less than half the marriages after 1806 
were recorded, due to indifference of ministers and Justices of Peace who 
performed the ceremonies, the crude methods of travel, trails infested with 
hostile Indians, which discouraged journeys to the county town. 

In Wilkes county many were probably burned with Will Book “D D” (See 
Vol. 1, pp 45-47). Other documents prove many marriages between people 
known to have lived in the county from the first settlement up to 1834, 
for which no original bond or recorded marriage could be located.
